1 - I wouldn't quite say that 330 ft hits are "bombs." I've seen some hits go over a 315 fence that were just beginning to start their descent back into the atmosphere. If it hadn't have been for the 40' tall trees behind the fence (and it hit the tops of those trees), the ball would have continued another 150-200 feet or so. Those are bombs. No, his bat wasn't juiced. He played on the local high school team that took the state championship.

2 - It's not impossible. It's just extremely difficult.

3 - Different bats will break in differently. If your friend is not getting much batting practice in, or if he doesn't rotate the bat on each hit, it will break in unevenly. Just a fact with composite bats.

4 - I'm sending you an old keyboard of mine. The punctuation keys work great. Please consider using them.
